2002 Toyota RAV4 4WD 4dr SUV (2.0L 4cyl 5M)

Review

I loved my two Honda Civics -- that
is, until I purchased the RAV4. A
friend purchased a Lexus RX300 and,
after enjoying rides in her luxury
SUV, I decided I wanted one of my very
own. So I purchased the affordable
one - RAV4!! Believe it or not, the
RAV4 L package even looks like the
RX300 from the outside. I like a small
car, so I was looking for a vehicle
that drove like a small car but had
the convenience of an SUV. The ride,
quality and design of the RAV is
everything I imagined! It zips in and
out of traffic and is extremely fun to
drive. The visibility is great -- I
can't imagine driving a car again!

Favorite Features

Exterior design
Comfortable seat belts

Suggested Improvements

The only recommendation I would make
is the direction in which the storage
compartment between the front seats
open -- a little awkward to maneuver.
